Dear Sirs:

We have been advised that product safety testing for the Cub Scout Immediate Recognition Kit, Item 01804, that we supply to the Boy Scouts of America may contain lead levels in excess of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards in the paint on one component of the kit, the totem badge. In light of this development, we have decided to initiate a voluntary recall of the product and have instructed our counsel to move forward with the voluntary recall
without delay.

Pending formalization of the details of the recall, we urge all
consumers to remove the Cub Scout Recognition totem badge from the
children's possession and be kept in a safe place where only adults
will have access to them. Detailed instructions for returning the
product for replacement will be provided when the recall is announced.

We have received no reports of any injuries resulting from use of the kits. Nevertheless, we urge that this action be taken as a precautionary measure, and as a reflection of our commitment - shared by Boy Scouts of America - to sell only products of the highest quality.

Yours truly,

Chuck Kelderhouse
President
Kahoot Products. Inc.

I will inform our cub packs at roundtable meeting tonight.

While I am one for caution....It does make one think.

How many Cubbies are eating the totem?

Also, if the BSA used a 100% Made in the USA policy, this would not happen.

I thought the BSA was using a 100% Made in USA policy? Or is that just uniforms?

if they had a made in USA policy, everything would increase in price. Bsa, and all ocmpanies have figured that you prefer the cheaper but not made here. they figure they will make more moeny this way.
